What do you need to know?
The Bristol Type 62 Ten-Seater was powered by one 450hp Napier Lion engine.
From various books:
G-EAWY registered May 1921; ‘ready for flight’ 21st June 1921; Flown to Croydon 8th July 1921 for experimental service; flown to Martlesham Heath in August 1921; sold to the Air Ministry in December 1921; performed demonstrations at Croydon on 6th Feb 1922; handed over to Instone’s in June 1922 to operate London-Paris service; later handed over to Handley Page Transport Ltd for London-Cologne service; withdrawn from use 10th February 1923.

Here are a couple of photos from the Aviation Archive website.
